BERRY SMOOTHIE

This has been a go-to of mine for years. It is a refreshing smoothie bowl that can serve as breakfast or snack at any time of the day.

Smoothies are a quick and easy way to add nutrients into your daily routine. It's also a way to hide some fruits or veggies the your littles may not want to it.

Berries are high in antioxidants and other health promoting benefits. Smoothies are a great way to include more of nature's candy in your daily diet.
